I hope you're doing well. I am currently facing an issue with a circular import in my Django project's models.py file. The specific error message is related to importing AbstractUser from django.contrib.auth.models. I have been trying to resolve this issue, and after some research, I came across a proposed solution that involves modifying the models.py file.
Here's the solution:
Import get_user_model at the beginning of your models.py file:
python
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_modelReplace the direct import of User
from django.contrib.auth.models with get_user_model():
python
User = get_user_model()Remove the import statement for AbstractUser since it's not directly used in the file:
python
Remove this line:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, BaseUserManager, PermissionsMixin
After making these changes, the modified models.py file should look something like this:
python
from django.db import models from django.db.models.signals import post_save from django.dispatch import receiver from django.utils import timezone from django.conf import settings from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
User = get_user_model() # Use get_user_model() to get the User model
... rest of the code ...
I have followed these steps, but unfortunately, the issue persists. I would greatly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or alternative solutions that the community might have. If there's additional information needed to understand the problem better, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your help!
